This review is from: Jongen: Suite for Orchesta and Viola Solo; Francaix: Rhapsodie; Serly: Concerto for Viola (Audio CD)

I played under Paul Freeman for seven years in the Victoria Symphony, and love the man. He became a mentor and friend whom I still contact on occasion.

His series from Eastern Europe features well thought out performances of repertoire that is seldom recorded and always interesting and valuable.

So it is with this one. Listen especially to the Serly Viola Concerto. Well worth hearing and performing. Bravo my friend. The only caveat is that I wish you had a better orchestra. But it's not bad. And I'm glad you are leaving a legacy because you deserve one. Many of your inferiors are household names.

If you like well performed, little heard repertoire, grab this one fast.
